The Sports Hub's 'Zolak and Bertrand' was tops as usual with a 17.5 share.

In the fall, the show had a 5.8 share, good for fourth place.
Afternoon drive (2-6 p.m.):
The Sports Hub's 'Felger and Massarotti' remained in its usual spot in first place, though its 15.7 share dropped from a 19.8 last winter. 'WEEI Afternoons,' featuring hosts Andy Hart, Nick Stevens, and Ted Johnson, took eighth with a 4.0 share in its first ratings book since a mid-January lineup shakeup.
